'The Order: 1886′ Trailer Hijacks a Blimp
Games with way more polygons and higher resolutions can be exciting, but it's seeing the beginning of promising new franchises that I look forward to the most with each new console cycle. There's a lot of experimentation in that first year after the consoles drop, as developers get familiar with the new tech and see what works and what doesn't.
Normally, year two is where developers start to realize that potential, and I have a feeling The Order: 1886 could be the first game that really sells next-gen. Hopefully it doesn't disappoint.
The Order: 1886 hits the PS4 on February 20th.
New 'Bloodborne' Trailer Brings the Pain
Because I'm supposed to be a professional writer of the video games news and stuffs, I shouldn't be as vocal about my love for Bloodborne. Journalistic bias, and all that jazz. The problem is, I am in love with this game. Now, that fact could change once I get my hands on it, but from all of the footage we've seen up to this point, I don't see that happening.
Bloodborne is going to be every bit as cruel and unforgiving as the Dark Souls series, and my body couldn't be more ready for its uniquely satisfying brand of punishment.
Bloodborne arrives exclusively on the PS4 on February 6.
In 'Until Dawn', You Better Think Fast or You'll Get Stabbed
Scream, Halloween, A Nightmare On Elm Street, Friday the 13th — I grew up watching movies where teens made stupid decisions, eventually getting picked off by a masked murderer. No real effort has been made to bring that formula to video games, but from the looks of it, that's about to change. One of my favorite film genres is about to make its way to video games, and it's being led by a small pack of extremely promising games like Until Dawn.
Earlier tonight at The Game Awards we were treated to another look at arguably the most promising game of the bunch. Enjoy.
'Resident Evil' HD Remake Footage Goes Old School
Capcom isn't afraid to show off the upcoming Resident Evil HD remaster, and that shows a level of confidence that makes me wonder if this return to a survival horror classic actually will be good enough to join the pantheon of great remakes — there aren't many of those — when it arrives almost everywhere on January 20.
The future of this franchise rests on the success or failure of this remake and Revelations 2, so it better be good.
And because Resident Evil isn't Resident Evil without all those doors, here's a look at the some of the creepy doorways we can expect to walk through slowly when we return to the new-and-improved Spencer Mansion in January.
The Resident Evil HD remaster releases on PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One for $19.99.

[Review] 'Poker Night' Builds Up and Tears Itself Down
Greg Francis' Poker Night is a bloody little crime thriller bogged down by its serpentine plot. Its nonlinear narrative throws in numerous twists and turns (some clever, some far-fetched), but somewhere along the way any edge of suspense is trampled, never to be recovered. It's like an anthology film whose frame story feels like it was ripped from another movie. Luckily, Poker Nights boasts a cast of serious badasses who manage to keep the film afloat as its plot frantically tries to pull it beneath the surface.
Journeyman actor Ron Perlman plays Detective Calabrese, a grizzled lawman who heads a weekly poker game with his cop buddies: Bernard (Giancarlo Esposito), Davis (Corey Large), Cunningham (Ron Eldard, in his first role since his amazing turn on Justified), and Maxwell (Titus Welliver). The new recruit to the table is Jeter (The Grudge 3's Beau Mirchoff). He's an ambitious but slightly arrogant rookie who's yet to earn the respect of the men he's playing with.
In between raises and folds, the men swap war stories. This is where the anthology vibe seeps in. They take turns telling tales of tough collars, with a nice mixture of humor, violence, and apathy towards the scum in the streets (man, why are cops so awesome in movies but generally suck in real life?). All this yarn spinning serves another purpose besides shits and giggles – they're meant to educate Jeter. "It's a time for rookies to listen and learn," one of the vets tell him.
The stories are so enlightening to Jeter, he inserts himself into each one, ghosting his way through time in a playful, yet wholly distracting manner. The narrators turn and look at the cameras a few times as well, adding extra diversion. This type of stuff is cool sometimes, but in this case took me too far out of the frame narrative. The stories themselves are awesome and really fun (Titus Welliver's Cruising-like tale is hilarious), but the insertion of Jeter is jarring at times, draining the energy from them.
The horror comes in the form of a masked psycho who viciously attacks and abducts Jeter and his girl (Halston Sage) after the poker game. The psycho's vibe is half frolicsome, half member of Slipknot. He tilts his head a bunch, like masked killers tend to do in horror, and gets touchy-feely with Jeter at times. What's it about wearing a mask that makes some guys get all fruity? He brings Jeter to his labyrinthine lair (a place Jigsaw would feel comfortable in), where he brutally taunts Jeter, who's desperately trying to figure out who this goof is and how to escape with his head (and skin) still attached.
The masked man's backstory is somewhat revealed through pastel-flavored flashbacks that include a clown and the Easter Bunny. The tone during these recollections is whimsical, clashing with the stark grittiness of the rest of the film. This tonal see-saw didn't really work for me and sapped all the suspense previously built up.
Th is was my biggest problem. The tension is drained quite a few times in Poker Night. Nearly every time the film jumps back to the poker game then over to Jeter in bloody distress, the film just never manages to recover that feeling of anxiety it establishes early on. There is truly a lot to like in the film, particularly the performances and cop stories, but ultimately it builds itself up only to fizzle out in the end. Writer-director Greg Francis has a sharp-eye for horror, that's obvious, so it'll be interesting to see what he comes up with next.
Twisted Music Video Of The Week Vol. 164: Mr. Oizo "HAM"
This video comes at a rather interesting time. Just last week we had Black Friday, the day where people will literally stampede over each other so that they can get [INSERT ITEM] at a ridiculously discounted price. I guess saving money is worth maiming and sometimes even killing each other, right?
That's why when comic editor Zac Thompson sent me the video for Mr. Oizo's "HAM", which was directed by Eric Wareheim, I knew I had to make it this week's Twisted Music Video Of The Week.
The video shows a heavily made up John C. Reily riding his electronic scooter into a discount store with the intention of buying a stuffed monkey. As it's the last one on display, people naturally start fighting over it – gotta have the last one, right? – and it ends in violence and bloodshed.
Yay holidays!

[Album Review] Microwaved 'Jesse'
In order to understand where an album like Jesse is coming from, I feel it's important to know a bit of back story. Gabe Wilkinson isn't knew to the music making industry, in fact Jesse is his 4th album to be released. However, for me, this is his most passionate project. The album title is a dedication to Wilkinson's brother who sadly passed away 2 years ago and from that sadness came this album. Each song on this album is a part of the over arching theme of loss, addiction, and pain; those hard feelings seep into each track on this album making each one powerful on its own. We also get to hear from Sean "Satyr" Tracy of PRODUKT, Inquisitor Uzumaki of dreDDup, Darren C. Huss of Psyche, and Violette Syn throughout Jesse.
The album opens with lines from Mars Attacks and immediately dives into an industrial pool of feelings and sounds. Microwaved is an industrial band to the core and this album is a great throwback to industrial music of yesteryear. The opening track, "Ascension", immediately fills your ear canal's with pulsing synth that leads to the eerie whisper of lead vocalist Gabriel Wilkinson. When I first listened to Jesse "Ascension" immediately dragged me into it and warmed me with it's all encompassing sound, I knew I would love the rest of it right then.
Each song is it's own monster begging to be unleashed, from "My Personal Judas" which captures a feeling of total regret to "Dirty Politics" with it's erotic opening and energetic sound. But my favorite track, "Monster & The Girl", is where the album really punches you in the gut. There is so much anger and love lumped in together that creates a haunting melody to compliment it's raging vocals.
Microwaved has been lurking about in the underground scene for awhile but I hope that Jesse can open new doors and find a bigger audience. It's an album that deserves to be heard and shared. The album is available for purchase at Microwaved's website & iTunes for $10 or $1 a song. You can also check out this album and previous ones on Spotify. I encourage you to give this underrated, underground band a listen; especially in an age where the music industry is over-saturated with unoriginal and unfeeling crap. As Wilkinson said himself, "This album is my catharsis, two years worth of tears, anger, loss, and fear in 11 tracks."

[Interview]: Travis Dahlhauser Talks Being A Real Life Ghost Hunter In 'Mission Terror'
American Horrors, FilmOn's only 24/7 free uncut online horror channel, delivers nothing but the most raw, sick and terrifying shit that other channels won't show you. Now American Horrors is ready to scare the living shit out of you with their brand new raw and unfiltered paranormal investigation reality series called "Mission Terror'. The series follows hosts Chad Glovier and Travis Dahlhauser as they travel the country investigating the paranormal activity in the creepiest locations. While other shows investigate locations that are popular tourist attractions, 'Mission Terror' dives right into unknown locations armed with only their finger on the record button. The show produces some truly unexplainable and frightening results, as Chad and Travis investigate the Egyptian Theater (DeKalb, IL), The Prairie View Rest Home (Missouri), and Illinois' most notoriously haunted building, The Monteno Insane Asylum!
Bloody-Disgusting.com sat with with 'Mission Terrors' own Travis Dahlhauser to go deep into the world of the paranormal and go behind the scenes with this real life ghost hunter.
Bloody-Disgusting: At what age did you become interested in the paranormal and how did it develop into full blown ghost hunting?
Travis Dahlhauser: Chad and I grew up together and have been close friends since the 6th grade when we were like 11 years old. Throughout our friendship we always bonded over our love of horror movies all things scary. We were both probably introduced to horror movies at too young of an age, but we definitely have shared a love of them throughout the years. We catch new scary movies, enjoy the old ones, and scary topics have been a regular conversation centerpiece for us. Once we hit our early 20s, we started driving around the Northern Illinois country looking for spooky places to explore. I'm not saying I recommend it, but our ghost hunting origins started somewhat as late night urban (rural) exploration. Anytime we found a place we'd say stuff like, "what if it's super haunted?!" So, that kind of led us towards adding the paranormal investigation aspect to our developing hobby. Then we started looking for places that were specifically known for being haunted and booking investigations. Over time we had a few crazy, unexplainable experiences, and we became hooked to that adrenalin rush. Some people dive with Great White sharks. Some people chase tornadoes. Some people ride roller coasters. We hunt for evidence of the paranormal. Since the beginning, it's been me and my best friend – the best man at my wedding – having a good time together. We're still a couple of kids at heart, but we've done our studying and we've had our experiences, so now we consider ourselves to be professionals at what we do.
BD: How much research goes into the back story of each location?
TD: We try to profile historic locations as much as possible, so when we book a place with historical significance, we do a lot of research on it. We also insist on someone from the location – the owner, manager, historian, etc. give us an in-depth tour on camera so we can share a lot of that information with the audience from a firsthand source. I find these to be some of our more interesting segments. It also gives us a chance to find out about any paranormal experiences in the location from a person who is there more than anyone else. We like to go in with a good foundation of knowledge on the location, but we keep an open mind, too. On the flip side, a handful of our episodes are at locations we find (possibly abandoned) with no back story at all, and we feel like that adds to it. For example, we recently investigated an abandoned farm and it was probably the scariest night of our lives. We feel like the lack of back story adds to that feeling of the unknown. That's what we're out to capture, evidence of the unknown. So to be in a place with some mystery to it adds to the thrill and the adrenalin rush, which is why we do what we do. So, it depends on the location.
BD: How do you go about scouting for potential locations to shoot?
TD: Our series kind of developed organically, and that has played a part in our investigation location decisions. What I mean by that is we're based in the Northern Illinois city or Rockford, so when we started out, we were just looking for "creepy" local places. Before ever filming, we would drive around the country back roads in the middle of the night looking for places to go in and check out. We would go in to old barns with key chain flashlights and run mini investigations with our cellphones. Pretty fancy stuff. We would also visit websites and read books about local haunted sites. Our favorite source for locating haunted sites came from a famous Illinois native author named Michael Kleen who runs the MysteriousHeartland.com website. He also has written several editions of the book Haunted Illinois, which is basically a tourist guide to haunted locations around different parts of Illinois (as well as some folklore). We would use these resources (and still do) to locate different locations and we'd road trip to visit them. The more places we visited, the more serious we got about it. We invested in some top of the line equipment and cameras to document our outings that we would jokingly call "Mission Terror" – which eventually became the title for our series. Our first big investigation was a road trip to Manteno Insane Asylum outside of Chicago. This was such a big deal for us and such a notorious haunted site that we wanted to have our cameras rolling at all times – just in case. We ended up only lasting 47 minutes in the building before we were so freaked out we ran out of the building. I decided to take that footage and edit it into an episode like format to document our experience and the series was born. We've come a long way the last few years, but all-in-all we still look for places the same way – researching the books and internet sites and road tripping. A handful of locations are places we've driven by and looked at each other and said, "we HAVE to check this place out!" Being based in Rockford, we try to stick to Northern Illinois since that's where our initial audience is from, but we've branched out to several states as well. We try to find historic locations, interesting places that not many people know about, and places that just seem scary. We also actively try to add variety to our locations. We'll do a famous theatre and then do an old piano factory. We'll do an insane asylum then do an abandoned ship on the shores of the Mississippi River. Mansions to cemeteries – you name it! Chad always says we'd investigate a porta-potty if we had to, and we'd probably get action!
BD: Tell us a little bit about some of the gear that you bring with you and what it does?
TD: We've collected a lot of gear for multiple purposes. Anyone who has ever watched a ghost hunting show knows what EVP is (electronic voice phenomena). We'll use high quality sound recorders and ask questions to see if we get a response on tape that our ears can't hear. Similar to that, we'll use a "Spirit Box" that cycles through radio frequencies and ask questions and voices have been known to speak through the white noise. We also use the TriField EMF meter which is a tool that can measure magnetic energy in a building. It's actually not specifically a ghost hunting tool – it's used by electricians, etc. – but many believe that ghosts are energy in the atmosphere, so if we're in a building in the middle of a cornfield that hasn't had electricity in 80 years and our EMF reader starts going off, that's hard to explain…it's paranormal, if you will. We've actually had conference calls with the scientist who invented the TriField EMF meter and we've described situations and readings we've gotten that stumped him. He didn't have a scientific explanation for it. That, to us, makes for compelling evidence. We use a tool called the Ovilus X that uses a multiple thousand word database that paranormal energy can use to communicate with us. Sometimes it's random, but sometimes it's so spot on as though we're having a conversation with something we can't see. We have cameras with a certain type of night vision and lighting that can pick up what our eyes can't see. We also use motion censors and trigger props and a variety of "classic" ghost hunting tools. Sometimes our equipment leads to compelling evidence, but sometimes it's the things we experience that make the best evidence – such as asking for a spirit to make a noise and a door opening and closing twice on it's own. Ghost hunting is not an exact science, but that coincidence is compelling. Chad and myself are actually skeptical ourselves, so our serious is very evidence driven. We're out there to explore amazing places, get scared, and capture that great piece of evidence to prove to the world, and especially ourselves, that ghosts do exist.
BD: Is there a difference between good energy and bad energy on investigations?
TD: Ghost hunting is not an exact science, so as investigators we have to trust our feelings and our instincts. It's hard to explain to someone who is not there with us, but different locations will give you various feelings and we can often decide if an energy is bad or if it is good. We might be in a location and feel nothing and out of nowhere we might get chills and both be overcome with dread, even though nothing happened. It's hard to explain, but sometimes you just get that feeling that you're not alone. Sometimes a feeling of intimidation will come along with that and sometimes it just feels fine. On the same note, we can kind of sense when an energy is no longer with us. It sounds silly to say, but we just have to trust what we feel. I'd say that sometimes the specific location we're in can affect the energy of the atmosphere. To be in an abandoned insane asylum where our research has told us there was cruel treatment of patients and where many people died in a negative way, will certainly create an atmosphere of negativity. We've been in locations with no sort of negative history that, even though nothing paranormal happens, we think the location feels, for lack of a better word, "evil" and we can't explain it. I don't know if any of this makes sense, because it's hard to explain without feeling it for yourself. I know I've been in locations where I have been overcome with dread and no explanation for it. There have been locations we have run out of because it just didn't feel right. There have been locations where we have dropped everything and just started praying because we just felt
BD: What are some of locations that you would love to investigate and why?
TD: Dream investigation locations is a growing and already endless list. We like to do episodes at lesser known places that are going to be new to most of our viewers, but we can't deny that we'd love to investigate places like Alcatraz Island. We actually talked to them about it and while we haven't reached an agreement yet, they told us it would be the first time ever a group of only 2 people we on the island alone investigating. We hope that's in our future someday! I'd love to do the Winchester Mystery House in San Jose, the Queen Mary in Los Angeles, Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia, and other famous haunted sites like that. If nothing is off limits, how cool would it be to investigate the White House. Can you imagine what we might get there with all the history? Who knows, maybe we could get some activity from a former President! We'd love to do a tour of Europe and check out all the old castles amazing locations there. New Orleans would be an exciting spot to go. There are so many big and amazing places out there and we hope to get the opportunity to check some of them out! I'd love to do a lot of these sites simply to experience traveling the world and stepping foot in such iconic places.
BD: Has there been a moment or a location that you just couldn't investigate?
TD: We did a place in Missouri called Prairie View Rest Home. It was an old building that people in rural Missouri who had mental problems or just nowhere else to go would go live and ultimately die. If you asked me what one location we've been to is definitely haunted, I'd say there. At one point things picked up and the atmosphere intensified. On the spot I dropped everything and started praying. I had never done that before. I felt like we were in danger. Not long after I started praying, we ran out of the building to take a break. I felt drained and exhausted. I later found out that Chad was worried for me and said I was acting a bit odd. Situations like that we obviously try to avoid. We don't try to disrespect or provoke anything and we certainly want nothing to do with anything demonic. We're just trying to capture some evidence. We only go into places with just the two of us. No crews, no guests, just two normal guys. So, if one of us wants out we both go. We've both had our own freak out moments and sometimes we both agree that it's time to leave. The only place we've investigate twice is probably our favorite – Manteno Insane Asylum. It's our baby. The first time, we only lasted inside for 47 minutes before packing up and running out. So much happened. Something fell from the roof and hit us, we captured so much movement. But the moment that drove us out was when everything intensified. We were running an EVP tst and I said, "can you give us a sign, can you make a sound." Almost instantly a door open and closed (latched and everything) twice, followed shortly by what sounds to us like children's laughter. Keep in mind we were in an asylum at 2 AM on a Tuesday night… there were no kids around! That was the last straw for us and we got out. This summer we went back to challenge ourselves to last more than 47 minutes. We did, but not by much – just over an hour! The place is the real deal and our experience can be seen there in 2 episodes! We also visited an abandoned farm this summer that just gave us such negative vibes and so much dread, I can't even say we really investigated it. We had trouble just walking through the whole place before we decided we needed to leave. Something felt evil there. It made for one of our most interesting episodes, though.
BD: Do you ever worry that anything paranormal from your investigations may follow you or attach itself or follow you when you leave the site?
TD: That is definitely a fear we both have and we try to take the necessary precautions to prevent it from happening. We pray before every investigation because it's what we believe and we want that extra bit of spiritual protection. We also try to avoid provoking anything and we never offer a presence to use our energy or anything like that. It's still a real fear, though. As I mentioned about our investigation of Prairie View Rest Home, it seemed like something was trying to separate Chad and myself and possibly like something was attaching to me. I felt drained and exhausted and my actions were out of the ordinary. Chad stressed he was concerned about me, so we went outside to get away from it. There have been times we've been in other locations and something similar will happen to Prairie View and in the back of my mind I'll think, "What if? What if it's the same presence…" We try to be as careful as possible and keep ourselves protected at all times.
BD: Mission Terror just got picked up for broadcast on American Horrors, how did you link up with Hart and company?
TD: Being picked up by a network – American Horrors – just blows our mind. We never imagined it would go this far. As I said before, when we started, we were just looking for haunted places to get scared. We never even planned to make a show out of it. After I edited together our experience at Manteno, we posted it on Youtube and, believe it or not, it started getting views and people wanted more. So we decided to film everything we did and that was the birth of the series. People kept watching and it was so exciting for us. We really are just two normal guys who go around looking to get scared and aren't afraid to freak out on camera. I guess people find that entertaining. So, our youtube series was getting views and we were having a blast. Then, Michael Kleen who runs the Mysterious Heartland website noticed our series and put it on his website. This was like coming full circle to us, because it was Kleen's website and lists of haunted places that really got us started – and now we were on his site! We thought that would be the ultimate pinnacle for us, and we were so excited about it. Well, Hart Fisher of American Horrors has family ties in Rockford and keeps up on the horror scene here in the Midwest. He saw an episode on the Mysterious Heartland website and apparently liked it, so he sought us out and offered us a deal on American Horrors. Our minds were blown and we jumped all over the huge opportunity. Now our series has a whole new chance to reach a new audience (worldwide!!) and go places we never dreamed. American horrors is a perfect fit because we do this for the thrill of getting scared in a haunted place – I mean, our show is called "Mission Terror" after-all. Now we can share our experiences with an audience who likes to get scared as much as we do on the world's only 24/7 all-things-horror streaming network! Hart is all horror all the time and it's been so exciting to be able to work with someone who has been doing well in the horror game for so long! We're just flat out excited about it! I mean, look at me, I'm doing an interview with freaking Bloody-Disgusting! How cool is that?!
BD: All reality television has to be entertaining, which can lead to things being scripted or staged. Have you encountered critics that try to discredit your investigations or say the show is staged?
TD: You know, we think the whole selling point of our show is that we are just 2 normal, genuine guys, who go places without any crews to get scared. Everything you see is genuine. Everything you see is the real deal. That's because we're doing this with the absolute minimum as far as production goes. Neither of us went to film school or anything like that. We both work 40 hour a week full time jobs. This all started out as our hobby. It was fun for us. It IS fun for us and we'll keep doing it as long as it is. Ultimately, what I'm saying is you see what you get. What you get us US and nothing else. We have experienced some unbelievable things and captured some unbelievable things on camera, so some people are always going to be there to tell us we're wrong or we're faking it. If they were there with us, in our shoes, they'd know that everything you see is legitimately happening, whether the source is paranormal or not. The fear is real. We always put Chad on camera during investigations because the faces he makes when something creepy happens are absolute gold. They're entertaining and that's what we're going for. I don't think either of us have it in us to pretend to be scared – our actual fear is entertaining enough. We certainly wouldn't pretend to be so scared we run out of a building. So far the feedback has been mainly positive. We've had people say things like, "I don't believe in ghosts, but I think your show is entertaining." Hey, I'll take that as a compliment. We've had a few people try to discredit our experiences and our take on a location. For example, we said in one episode that a location felt like it had a negative presence and this lady sent us a message basically yelling at us and saying we didn't know anything and we were wrong and that it was a friendly presence in the location because she and her ghost team had been there and we didn't know what we're talking about. What can you do about that. We had our experience there and she had hers. All I can go by is what we experienced and what we felt. So, for the most part, we've received so much amazing and positive feed back. Now that we have a larger audience, I'm sure some people will be critics. I think that comes with the territory. We're dealing with something that a lot of people do not believe in and never will believe in no matter what we do or say. That's okay. As long as some people enjoy what we do, it's all worth it for us. We're having a blast!
BD: What is your take on reality shows like Ghost Hunters? Do you like or hate them and why?
TD: We love all the shows like Ghost Hunters, Ghost Adventures, Paranormal State, etc. People have been investigating the paranormal in some form forever, but shows like Ghost Hunters really made it what it is today. Shows of that nature got us interested in it and are part of the reason we do what we do. I still watch those shows. They're fascinating. I think we all have different approaches and – while there are similarities – we are all different shows. I'd love to meet the people involved in those shows. We have nothing but respect for them and we're still fans! We loving doing what we do, though. I spend my weekends traveling all over with my best friend visiting amazing places and getting the thrill of a life time. I think that shows through in our show.
BD: What do you think about ouija boards. Are there things people should understand before using them? Should people be using them if they don't understand or want to mess around with a spirit negatively?
TD: We have used ouiji boards before but only on isolated occasions. I really don't feel comfortable with it. I mean, running EVP tests and things like that is certainly a way of opening a door of communication, but I feel like using a ouiji board is a way of opening a door of physical communication. I feel like it's an invitation for a spirit to use your body, your hands, to move this item for communication. I guess I just don't want anything using my body for any reason and I make that clear. It's a controversial topic, though. I guess I would say anyone who doesn't understand what you're really doing or the possibilities that come along with it should not be using ouiji boards. It's a risk. More than that, if you don't know the risks and you're not careful, you should probably avoid investigating completely. It can be dangerous and it can open doors. I'll be the first to say that it's the thrill of being scared and the fun that keeps us ghost hunting, but we know what we're doing. We've done the research and our goals are clear. We make sure we're protected, we don't provoke, and we make sure we are not vulnerable. It can be a good time, but you want to do it right.
'Eat Me' Will Test Human Endurance (Exclusive)
Eat Me Films & Rumpus Room Productions begin lensing on Eat Me, the acclaimed playwright Jacqueline Wright's cutting edge feature adaptation of her LA Weekly nominated play, in Los Angeles starting December 10, 2014, Bloody Disgusting exclusively learned.
Wright will star alongside Brad Carter (pictured in "True Detective, Ascension"), and Michael Samus Wiles ("Breaking Bad, Fight Club).
Eat Me will be directed by Adrian A. Cruz (co-creator, "Ascension") and produced by Flo Speakman and Dena Hysell.
An insightful, darkly hilarious and terrifying exploration of the extremity of human endurance. TOMMY, a despondent woman with nothing to live for, attempts suicide on the same night BOB breaks into her house. Over the course of the night, they collide on a desperate and brutal journey, struggling to find a way out of the circumstances that brought them together.
"It's an immense honor to be able to bring this harrowing and divisive story to the screen. It's not the sort of script that you can put down. It haunts you, takes on you a journey that you can't forget. Combined with the incredible talent of the cast, it's an explosive combination," director Adrian Cruz explains.
Eat Me was adapted from the notorious and acclaimed play of the same name. Sparking heated debates and polarizing reviews, Eat Me set the bar for balls to the wall theater and now promises to the move to the screen and with the same passion, wit and fearlessness.
'The Battery' Score Now Available For Purchase
The indie zombie film The Batter has been winning over audiences since its 2012 release, with many people hailing it as one of the best films of its kind. Our own Lauren Taylor stated that the movie, "…proves something about the depths of the horror genre" in her review.
Now, the original soundtrack for the film, which was composed by Ryan Winfold, has been made available for purchase via Bandcamp. Featuring 28 track and only costing $5, the soundtrack is well worth it for fans of the film and also fans of a beautifully crafted minimalistic soundtrack.
Stream the album below and listen to "Old Ghosts" for a great example of the haunting melancholia that the soundtrack exudes.
The 'Indiana Jones' Joke That Never Dies…
In Steven Spielberg's 1981 Raiders of the Lost Ark, Archeologist and adventurer Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) is hired by the US government to find the Ark of the Covenant before the Nazis.
The running joke is that Jones doesn't actually do anything to stop the Nazis from retrieving the Ark and opening it. In fact, the movie could have been made without Jones even appearing and the outcome would have been the same.
Website Dorkly illustrates what Indy should have done when asked to hunt down the Ark.
New 'Friday the 13th' to Take Place In the 1980′s?!
Portuguese site Omelete caught up with Platinum Dunes producers Brad Fuller and Andrew Form who revealed a shocker about the forthcoming Friday the 13th, which was rumored to be a remake and to be released in 3-D.
"We did a reboot in 2009 and now in 2014 we are focusing on a different story of Jason," says the rough translation. "This will not be a continuation of the 2009 film nor a remake of the original It's just a different story."
But the big news was hiding within the story, where the site claims that were told that "the film will likely take place during the 80′s because the producers want to recover the feel of the first film."
I've always thought that the first film carried a found-footage feel to it, especially since half the movie is told through the eyes of Pamela Voorhees. It'll be interesting to see what direction is taken, although I relish in the idea that they're thinking outside of the box. We don't need another polished, generic slasher. Jason deserves better than that.
David Bruckner, who directed some of The Signal and our V/H/S, is directing.

Ten innovation lessons from Blizzard
Blizzard is pretty stubbornly committed to quality -- not only do they notoriously release things "when they're done," but if something doesn't work they apparently are happy to trash it completely (see Starcraft: Ghost). It is amusing, too, that Rob Pardo says he and Frank Pearce are trying to make "great entertainment projects, not perfect ones." WoW has its bugs, sure, but when you look at Blizzard's catalog: Diablo, Starcraft, Warcraft, you have to wonder what a "perfect" game looks like in Pardo's mind. Those are about as perfect as they come.
And they "eat their own dog food," too: J. Allen Brack apparently spends four hours a night (up to 15 hours a week) playing the game on his own time at home. Seems like it would be tough for other companies to pull these strategies into their own plan (Blizzard really releases one-of-a-kind products), but as consumers, it's neat to get another look into the way they work.

When single mothers are faced with an uphill task of bringing up their children taking care of all their needs like health, education and other basic needs, and faced with financial crisis, the State of Michigan has come forward to help these mothers in a big way. The State is providing great help for single mothers in Michigan through various programs like Child Development and Child Care, MI Child Health Care, Family Independence, Food Assistance, Education Assistance and financial help to single mothers in Michigan so that each child of single mothers are brought up like any other in the State.
Food, clothing, healthcare, shelter and academic assistance comes of primary importance and this is where assistance for single mothers in Michigan is undoubtedly a unique gesture on the part of the State. Providing single mothers fulfil the eligibility criteria, they are entitled to child care benefits which include receiving in some cases up to 90% of the expenses on healthcare under the program for child development and child care sponsored by the State. In such cases mothers have to have income below $ 1895 a month. Children of single mothers in the low income group below 19 years of age and having no health insurance coverage are entitled to MIChild healthcare aid.
For providing housing assistance for single mothers in Michigan, there are several programs sponsored by the State among which Housing Choice and Home Ownership Voucher Program offers help to retain ownership of homes by single mothers through mortgage, insurance and other means so that their families do not become destitute. They also have choice of housing units meeting the standard of their living. Many other programs aimed at providing single moms Michigan help include federal funding to ensure proper education in the form of granting financial help and through other programs on education grant.
Michigan assistance to single moms has met with countrywide appreciation and the criteria are not that much stringent to allow maximum number of single mothers be eligible for assistance under various programs. There is yet another unique assistance in the form of single mother grants in Michigan which include the Family Independence Program where temporary cash assistance is provided so that a child can meet the academic expenses while in between finishing internships and changing jobs. Mothers to be eligible for this grant must have assets worth below $ 3000 and meet the requirements of income amount.
Food Assistance Program is yet another bold endeavour by the State of Michigan where grants for single mothers in Michigan have provided assistance to thousands of single mothers. This program is sponsored for families which are struggling for their existence for want of proper nutrition and the grant is judged by the income of the mother, number of children and the value of assets. Single mothers are given allotment for food through monetary grant for food assistance through Michigan Bridge Card. These assistance programs for single mothers in Michigan have come a long way in helping those mothers to regain their foothold and have a renewed life of happiness.

Social Credit Party
Social Credit Party
Canadian political party. Founded in 1935 by William Aberhart, it was based on the social-credit theory of the British economist Clifford Douglas (1879–1952). By the late 1930s the party advocated employee profit sharing and shareholding. It led the provincial governments in Alberta (1935–71) and British Columbia (1952–71, 1976–1991), and it won several seats in the parliament in Ottawa between 1935 and 1980. The party suffered from internal conflicts, and at the end of the 20th century it had failed to win seats in any provincial assembly.

Jets Shonn Greene Expected Back Next Week
Posted by Erik Manassy on Aug 19, 2011 in Injuries, Main | 0 comments
BrianCoz Jets expect Greene back next week http://t.co/D09EKI8 8/19/11 1:49 PM |
Jets running back Shonn Greene was not at the morning walkthrough Friday and coach Rex Ryan said he is not even sure if Greene is in the building. Greene has a skin infection on his right foot that will cause him to miss Sunday's preseason game against the Bengals.He is being treated with antibiotics.
"I think it's been a few days," Ryan said. "He practiced [Wednesday]. He had some problems, so they gave him a little thing in his foot. He was fine. The next day the thing wore off, it got worse, there was more swelling in it so they tried to drain it or something like that. It got an infection, so he's (limping around). He'll have to have it propped up. He's going to have to elevate his leg for a little bit."
Ryan said he expects to have Greene back next week. Ryan was asked if the Jets are taking any precautions in their building to prevent the infection from spreading to other players. Ryan said they are not doing anything extra, but he believes the building could not be any cleaner.
The Jets are unable to rule out a staph infection because Greene does not have an open wound. With Greene out, LaDainian Tomlinson will start Sunday against the Bengals. Tomlinson was only in for two snaps Monday night against the Texans.
Joe McKnight, who suffered a concussion Monday night, will be able to play Sunday. The Jets will also use fourth-round pick Bilal Powell.

Zac Efron Traveling Incognito: Beyond the Paparazzi
Efron's new film, 17 Again.
Let's say you were the young, handsome star of a cagillion dollar Disney franchise. Let's say that you shine your shoes with Benjamins and gross more each year than Burundi. Let's say that tween girls from L.A. to Tokyo faint each time your pretty face appears on the screen. What would you do? Well, if you're Zac Efron, you would try to escape it all.
"I'd love to take a year off and travel the world under the radar. I would love to do it really low-key. I wouldn't need to stay in fancy hotels or anything; I just want to explore--but I don't know how I'd do it. Maybe I'd shave my head to try and go incognito?" (Starpulse)
Well, Zachary, you're in luck, because we've done the hard work for you. Read our picks for spots where you'll be free to roam the streets as just another pretty face. Added bonus? These locales won't put a dent in your nest egg.
* Peru: While Machu Picchu is overrun with tourists snapping photos of the remnants of Incan empire, just 25 miles away Choquequirao sits deserted. You'll have to hire a guide and a cook, carry your own gear, and ride a mule, but when you arrive at the lost city, we guarantee it'll be magic. Plus you won't find a single paparazzo. Check out how to do it here.
* Greenland: Residents of the world's biggest island are more concerned about melting glaciers than Hollywood heartthrobs, so your cover will be safe here. And what's cooler than a place where the main mode of transportation is dogsled? Check out how to make the most of the Inuit heartland here.
* Lakshadweep Islands: Say what? No, I'm not making it up. This collection of 27 islands scattered off the coast of southwestern India is a little piece of paradise--and as far off the grid as it gets. If you find someone who's heard of High School Musical here, the drinks are on us. Check out the specifics here.
So you see, Zac, there are plenty of places all over the world where your famous mug can go unnoticed. Worst comes to worst, you can always wear one of these. If you want some more destinations, give your Auntie Beata a call.

A Flawless Response to Rejection
Printer-friendly version
It's one of the most damaging features in a man's life, and for some, so crippling that they never crawl back into the saddle of life again. And what's worst of all, it's something they often have nobody in the world to share it with, get support and reempowerment around, or heal from. Doing so makes them feel even worse than before.

Louis Vuitton iPod Trunk: Apple'S New Luggable
In a show of sheer over-the-top ridiculosity, French accessory designer Louis Vuitton created this decked-out iPod carrying case for German fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld.
The custom-made Taiga leather Vuitton case is lined with rich red microfiber, and carries an insane 20 iPods, along with a charging dock, a set of JBL Creature II satellite speakers and matching subwoofer. Now why you'd need to carry 20 iPods is anyone's guess, especially since those look like models with plenty of hard disk-based storage. But then again, rumor has it that Lagerfeld has 100 iPods, and a full-time "iPod nanny" who manages his massive multi-terabyte music library.
Apparently LV will make custom cases for just about anything you can imagine, assuming you can spare tens of thousands of bucks and about half a year of your life (or longer) to wait for one to be created. Maybe you can finally get your pet elephant that trunk he's been asking for.
Me, I'm getting one to hold my 100 Zunes.

The new Amazon Elements lineup offers in-depth info on where its products come from, starting with diapers and baby wipes. Plus: In Seattle, at least, takeout is on the menu.
All the news from the annual Google I/O event, including the latest on Android.
The online retailer treads into new territory that will test its strategy of selling products at cost.
The retailer says it expects to close the stores by the end of 2015 and save approximately $500 million in the process.
The rumored smartphone pops up on Google Play next to the Nexus 7 and Nexus 10. Also online: several cases in stock at the end of October and claiming to be tailored for the Nexus 5.
For the first time in years, the most widely used version of Android also happens to be the newest. That's good news for developers, but Android is more complicated than one bar chart.
Once primarily sold in Best Buy and on Amazon.com, the laptops will now be available at Walmart, Staples, and other stores worldwide.
Barnes & Noble is ceding the tablet market to larger, deeper-pocketed competitors and focusing on its digital book business. But that means going up against Amazon in a tough mano-a-mano fight.
Fortify your browser, opt out of location tracking, and use a virtual private network to hide your IP address.
It's still early days, but the online retail giant is working up a ploy to take on everyone from Google to Yahoo, Facebook, and Walmart.
Regulatory filings by the online retail giant also revealed Bezos' total compensation remained steady at $1.68 million in 2012.

Patrick Swayze's Most Romantic Movies
Patrick Swayze once said that he wanted to achieve the heights of Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly, and Errol Flynn before he died. And in many people's opinions, the recently deceased actor/dancer did—fighting the bad guys as Flynn might in Red Dawn, dancing with the athleticism of Kelly in Dirty Dancing, and even serenading Jennifer Grey as Astaire might in the same movie. The Dirty Dancing Guide To Romance
But, contrary to what Swayze might have thought of himself or how the entertainment world chose to package him, it will not be his physical presence alone that we remember him for. As much a romantic lead as a dancer, Swayze made us fall in love with him over and over again throughout the years in roles that didn't include a single two-step. Below, we've listed some of our favorite romantic Swayze films. Let us know if there are any we left off that you wish were included.
1. The Outsiders (1983) — A live-action Teen Beat centerfold, The Outsiders didn't just make us swoon, it made us realize we were capable of swooning in the first place. Featuring Matt Dillon, Rob Lowe, Ralph Macchio, C. Thomas Howell, Tom Cruise, Patrick Swayze, and Emilio Estevez, it was hard to choose a favorite castmember. But Swayze certainly stood out as one of them. As Darrel Curits—the oldest, wisest, and most responsible of the Curtis brothers—he brought the realities and responsibilities of burgeoning adulthood to this 1950s teenage drama of class consciousness.
2. North and South (1985) — We love ourselves a period romance. And rarely has the genre been done better on television than in the mini-series North and South. Featuring an all-star cast that included Elizabeth Taylor, Kirstie Alley, Gene Kelly, and Robert Mitchum, North and South followed the lives of two friends—one union and one confederate—leading up to and during the Civil War. Patrick Swayze, who made up the southern half of the friendship, kept us on our toes—making us fall in love with him as a romantic lead opposite Lesley-Anne Dawn, but also making us question his consciousness as a member of a slave-owning family. If there's any proof that Swayze wasn't a one-trick pony, this is it.
3. Dirty Dancing (1987) — Audiences didn't just love Dirty Dancing, but became addicted to it—returning to the multiplex over and over again to see Patrick Swayze dance with and romance Jennifer Grey. Set in the 1960s, and taking place at a posh Catskills resort, the movie's subplots included a botched abortion, petty theft, and class conflict. But the real reason women kept going back to see it was obviously not those subplots, but something far more fantastic and optimistic: the idea that a handsome man that everyone wants could fall desperately in love with an ordinary looking teenage girl who no one seems to notice.

BofA Merrill Lynch Fund Manager Survey Finds Investors Bullish On Global Growth As They Look Beyond Fiscal Cliff
Confidence in a recovering global economy is extending into 2013 as investor fears surrounding the fiscal cliff eased, according to the BofA Merrill Lynch Fund Manager Survey for December.
A net 40 percent of investors believe the global economy will strengthen in the year ahead, a rise of six percentage points month-on-month and double the reading two months ago. The number of investors viewing the U.S. fiscal cliff as the biggest tail risk has fallen to 47 percent, down from 54 percent in November. Despite this fall, however, the fiscal cliff remains the number one worry.
Emerging markets are the preferred region for the panel. Optimism about China's economy has reached the highest level recorded by this survey. A net 67 percent of the regional survey respondents say China's economy will strengthen in the coming year, up from a net 51 percent in November. A net 38 percent of asset allocators are overweight emerging market equities, double the level of September's survey.
"The bulls are back in China, while policy makers elsewhere put bears onto the back foot. If the bulls are to claim a decisive victory, we need hard evidence that the economy is reaccelerating," Michael Hartnett, chief investment strategist at BofA Merrill Lynch Global Research said. "Growth expectations and positioning are converging to mid-range levels, but many still think earnings expectations are too high. When these concerns subside, it's likely that cheap valuations of European stocks will attract global fund managers," said John Bilton, European investment strategist.
The number of asset allocators overweight U.S. equities has fallen since November. But allocations to the eurozone are outweighing U.S. allocations for the first time since November 2010. The net percentage of asset allocators overweight eurozone equities has risen to seven, up from a net 1 percent in November. In terms of sector, investors have maintained a broadly "risk on" stance – allocations to cyclical sectors Consumer Discretionary and Industrials have increased, and the market is firmly overweight both. But the number one sector remains Pharmaceuticals.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Some readers drew my attention and urged a response to a lovely little rant over at Heather Ford's blog, Hblog.org, regarding the SA Blog Awards and 2oceansvibe's winning of six categories.
Apart from being one of the judges in this year's awards, Heather bills herself in her About section as "a social entrepreneur who is passionate about public speaking, networking, creativity and the Internet, and is happiest when creating events, teaching, writing and crafting."
She had a few comments.
If I may:
"I'm still trying to work it out, but perhaps its as obvious as the number of readers of newspapers with headlines about young women having sex with aliens. I think it's an indictment on SA blogging when 2oceansvibe wins 6 categories, including 'Best South African' blog in this year's SA Blog Awards. I mean, I have nothing against the blog (I realise that there is a pretty large audience for tits, ass, cars, rugby and surfing) but the fact that this is the blog that we hold up to the world as our national pride and joy makes me want to hurl . "
"If the blog awards brand doesn't have any meaning, any vision, any unique take on the world of blogging, then I guess it will be just another popularity contest – which is fine – but just not what I hoped for SA."
Nice one, Heather. Fair enough. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.
All I can say is that I'm sorry you found it all such a let down and, in particular, that you were compelled to "hurl." That was certainly not my intention when writing the five to ten daily articles for the last few years, which, evidently, lead to this point. I think I was just trying to give the readers who chose to come to the site, what they wanted.
Bizarre as it may seem, upbeat positive writing about "tits, ass, cars, rugby and surfing" (lest we forget fashion, TV, cinema, music, food, politics, travel, technology, business, boats, leisure, art, money, competitions, Mavis and The TBG (see left hand menu options)) do seem to be a desirable commodity. Which is weird, I guess.
Maybe I should be covering more about Zuma; you know, to ADD to the rest of our national "traditional media" headlines. Or perhaps Rupert Murdoch was on the right track when he said, "I believe too many of us editors and reporters are out of touch with our readers. Too often, the question we ask is "Do we have the story? rather than "Does anyone want the story?"

I hope someone can help us figure out why our water hammer went away. For those that don't know what hammer is it is when the pipes make a knock or vibrating noise when water is stopped quickly like the washing machine shutting off or the toilet shutting off. We have been dealing with water hammer for years. Four plumbers later and we still had it. Then yesterday it went away. Here is what happened yesterday that was different. The water company came out and tested our water pressure by putting a gauge on a hose bib. We were not home. I spoke with him by phone and he did not adjust anything. He only checked the pressure and it was fine. The second thing that was different about yesterday is that my DH left the kitchen faucet on slightly. Not full force and not just a drip....there was a pretty good trickle. And that went on all day. He has left the water on before, but never all day that I recall. Can someone explain why the water hammer went away? We have been dealing with it for several years. |
Follow-Up Postings:
There are a few possable reasons why it might no longer be happening but it would just be guessing to say. In light of the fact four plumbers failed to resolve it,only a genius could give you factual observation without ever seeing the home and making tests. If it returns,ask at any hardware store for 2 water hammer arrestors that go on laundry facuets. The kid next door can install them if those 4 plumbers can't. |
One other thing occurred that was different in our routine. I had taken down the thing that hangs on the shower head that holds our shampoos. The water hammer was still happening. But my DH put the shampoo holder back up. It goes over the shower head pipe and at the back attaches with suction cups. He said it was hard getting it to adhere. He really had to push. Our shower is acrylic, I think that is the material, but I wouldn't think he would push so hard as to move the pipes. Anyway, that is the three things that happened different prior to the water hammer mysterious disappearing. By the way, to klem1, I had already looked at water hammer arrestors and even had one on order to try. It hasn't come in, yet. Now hoping I won't need it. Just wish I could figure out what caused the water hammer to go away so if we ever need to try that trip again we can. |
ITS BACK....we were without the water hammer for almost a full day and then DH took a shower. After his shower the toilet was flushed and when it stopped filling the water hammer was back. What would have caused it to go away for almost a whole day and then return after he showered? Help. |

I think possibly somehow some air got into your water supply lines. Because air is compressible, it absorbs the shock that causes the water hammer. But it got flushed out again, and now the hammer is back. I doubt the shower caddy R&R had anything to do with it. Get the arrestor and see if that doesn't help. |
